The MI987 Mini-ITX motherboard is based on the Q87 chipset designed to support socket LGA1150 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 desktop processors built on the latest 22nm process technology. The board offers leading-edge processing performance as well as an increase in graphics performance compared to its predecessors, making it quite suitable for demanding applications in the gaming, automation and digital signage markets.

The IBASE MI987 Mini-ITX motherboard is equipped with two DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM sockets to support up to 16GB of system memory and three types of graphics display interface, including VGA CRT, HDMI and DisplayPort. Alongside the display edge-connectors are one serial port, four USB ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, audio connectors and a 19V DC-in jack that eliminates the need for a bulky internal power supply and shrinks the volume of the system chassis.

With long-term availability, the MI987 comes with many great features, such as two 6Gb/s SATA III interface, two serial ports, watchdog timer, digital I/O, TPM 1.2 and iSMART. While TPM allows systems to run applications securely, iSMART provides EuP/ErP power saving and intelligent scheduler for better environmental performance. The MI987 is available in both the Intel Q87 and H81 versions.
